Hello everyone!! I am an iOS client and trying to connect to the remote server with my self signed certificate. I add it to the keychain and start socket connection. When I try my code with localhost, I see some encrypted messages, but when I try to connect to the remote server I get the error "no cipher suites in common". Could you please help me on that? Thanks in advance..

The code I work on is as follows

Objective-C
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]];
NSData *iosTrustedCertDerData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[bundle pathForResource:@"keytool_crt"
                                                ofType:@"der"]];
CFDataRef myCertData = (__bridge_retained CFDataRef)iosTrustedCertDerData;


assert(myCertData);

SecCertificateRef myCert;
myCert = SecCertificateCreateWithData(NULL, myCertData);



SecPolicyRef myPolicy = SecPolicyCreateBasicX509();
SecCertificateRef certArray[1] = { myCert };
CFArrayRef myCerts = CFArrayCreate(
                                   NULL, (void *)certArray,
                                   1, NULL);
